What is Andrew Lloyd Webber's Net Worth?

Andrew Lloyd Webber was born on March 22, 1948, in Kensington, London, England. His mother, Jean Hermione Johnstone, was a pianist and violinist, and his father, William Lloyd Webber, was an organist and composer. Andrew has a younger brother, Julian, who is an award-winning solo cellist. Lloyd Webber began writing music at just 9 years old, and his Aunt Viola, an actress, often took him to see her in plays, fostering a love of theatre in young Andrew. He attended the Eric Gilder School of Music in 1963, and at the time, he was writing a musical about Genghis Khan called "Westonia!" and had set "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" to music. Lloyd Webber later attended Westminster School, where he was a Queen's Scholar, and he enrolled at Magdalen College, Oxford, but dropped out in late 1965 to study musical theatre at the Royal College of Music.

In the early 1990s, he established the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation, which promotes "the arts, culture and heritage for the public benefit." In 2008, he was ranked the "fifth most powerful person in British culture" by "The Daily Telegraph." Several of Lloyd Webber's musicals have been adapted into films, including "Jesus Christ Superstar," "The Phantom of the Opera," and "Cats," and the 1996 adaptation of "Evita," starringMadonna, won an Academy Award and three Golden Globes. Andrew published his memoir, "Unmasked," in 2018.

Lloyd Webber was knighted in 1992, and in 1997, he was made a life peer byQueen Elizabeth II. He also served in the House of Lords as a Conservative member from 1997 to 2017 and is the president of Chiswick's Arts Educational Schools, London. Andrew is an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner, and he owns the Really Useful Group, one of London's largest theatre operators.

At 17 years old, Lloyd Webber received a letter fromTim Rice, a 21-year-old law student. The letter read: "Dearest Andrew, I've been told you're looking for a 'with it' writer of lyrics for your songs, and as I've been writing pop songs for a while and particularly enjoy writing the lyrics, I wonder if you consider it worth your while meeting me." The two soon began writing the musical "The Likes of Us," which would not be publicly performed until 40 years after it was written. In 1967, family friend Alan Doggett commissioned Andrew and Tim to write something for the Colet Court school choir, and the duo wrote "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," which was later expanded and turned into a 1972 stage musical. They wrote "Jesus Christ Superstar" next, then Lloyd Webber wrote the musical "Jeeves" with lyricist Alan Ayckbourn because Rice wasn't sure he could do the "Jeeves and Wooster" novels justice. "Jeeves" opened in 1975 and only ran for 38 performances, but it was later reworked into 1996's "By Jeeves," which made it to Broadway in 2001.

Andrew and Tim reunited for "Evita," which was released as a 1976 concept album before being performed onstage. The song "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" topped the UK Singles Chart, and the musical premiered in the West End in 1978. "Evita" moved to Broadway in 1979 withPatti LuPonein the lead role.
